Gail and John's Redneck Wedding
Gail and John share their experience from My Big Redneck Wedding.
Our wedding was a day of fun and marrying soul mates that had been apart for way too long. We wanted a fun wedding that would bring out our personalities. It was full of a beer can archway, beer cans to carry our flowers in, and basset hounds as the ring bearers and flower girls. Our kids were in the wedding, except for 2, but they were in our hearts. After getting a wedding dress 20 sizes too small, I found the perfect dress to turn John's head, and make his allergies (HA) act up. After saying our I DO's, we released chickens to start our new joined life together. Then everyone went to have a reception, of beautifully set tables by newspapers, and mason jars with ditch flowers in them. Guests ate a wonderful meal of fried chicken, pulled pork and BBQ beef, and a cake of 4 layers and of 4 different flavored layers!!!!!! We then went outside and tried the mechanical bull and the rode away in our Chevy Trailblazer, pulling our beer cans. Oops! or was that the archway!!!!!!! Then we exchanged gifts. John gave me a stuffed animal he won. I gave John a bowling ball that said, "Think of me when you touch your ball." Then we went off to a honeymoon, and are the happiest redneck couple ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this for real or made up? This was by far the worst wedding i have ever seen. I can see being redneck but this wasnt it was trash Openly urinating in the street ,your mother offering you her teeth .
diane murphy says:
You two are great though your husband pees to much haha. I dvred the sho so my husband could see it granny is so funny she looks to be a real sweetie We liked it when he said the hot pockets and she said oh i like hot pockets and the one in car where she says i want some cake john. You guys look like you are a great fun couple and Best wishes to you both.
Ohio Princess says:
GRANNY SHOULD HAVE HER OWN SHOW - SHE’S AWESOME!
At first, I thought maybe John peed too much, but I saw how much beer he put away making the beercan arch, and I was impressed - I thought only my Dad could drink like that! Best wishes to both of you!
Geneva&Kyle says:
We loved your show, especially the mechanical bull! That was awesome! I loved the ceremony.. Yall are so in love! It was really sweet.. the peeing thing is hilarious! Good luck in life and love..& God Bless!
LeanPockets says:
Just wanted to say you guys are amazing. you clearly love each other and you weren’t afraid to have fun and be yourselves on camera and i think that’s awesome. this was by far i think the best wedding and you guys made me laugh so hard. i think ur episode is the most quotable show i’ve seen in years of tv watching. good luck in the future and god bless.
Bonnie says:
Previously I had watched a little of My Big Redneck Wedding but it seemed kind of stupid, however, because I am from the Eastern Shore I watched this whole show. I cannot believe how gross these people are. All he does is drink, pee and take a dump. It is one of the most disgusting shows I have ever seen. I love CMT and hate to see it lower itself to this level. I hope people who viewed this will not think everyone from the Eastern Shore is like this. I love Jeff Foxworthy. I have seen him in concert and go again in a minute. He is more typical of our area. Good luck on your other shows but please get rid of this one.
beano says:
This show would be a lot better without Tom Arnolds stupid commentary. Agree or disagree?
Lindsey says:
“I wish I could put your love in a locket because your hotter than a hot pocket.
We did it in the backseat, we did it in the zoo, I don’t care where we do it as long as it’s witchu”
- My Big Redneck Wedding Vows
I love you guys. Enough said.
As long as your happy, keep doin what you do!
Granny says:
I loved Granny too. She was my absolute favorite part. And I love Tom Arnold’s commentary…I think it adds to the show. And to all of you people dissing these “rednecks…” What makes you better? I’m not a redneck at all, but love watching this show. As unbelieveable as some of these things are that they do, they are still people. Good Luck Ya’ll.
ashley&Adam says:
Oh my goodness, I have never laughed so hard in my life, it was a very funny episode. I hope someone told him that is a thesaurus and not a clitaurus…best of wishes to you both!
cass says:
This was the funniest episode ever! I laughed so hard I thought my pants would never dry! Tom Arnold deserves an Emmy! Gail and John, Best Wishes and God Bless!
Just Another Shorebilly says:
Just for information sake, not everyone on Marylands Eastern Shore is proud of this episode. Some people I know were appaled that the shore was portrayed this way. I on the other hand was completely amused, and got a good laugh. Not my taste in wedding, but as long as you two are happy thats all that matters. Best wishes, for a long and happy merrage, from the county next door.
Tammy says:
Go back under the rock that u crawled out from!! Just to let everyone know that u are gross and that u DO NOT in no way represent the rest of us clean decent respectful eastern shore people in any way shape or form.If u want to represent yourselves this way leave the rest of the greater shore people out of this.I dont even find your gross display of love amusing.We the shore people can love people like Jeff Foxworthy,Larry the cable guy etc… they are atleast clean and not shitting on the side of the road.Thank u Have a Nice Day
Blacklilah says:
Can I PLEASE have a copy of the wedding vows, or the wedding poem, that John read to his grandmother. If anyone has a copy, or remember what it was, I would greatly appreciate it!
Michelle says:
I thought this was the best episode yet! I do think that all the public urination was pretty gross, but he’s not my husband.
And to all the people from the Eastern Shore that didn’t like it…to bad. They were being themselves, there are “rednecks” everywhere. Up here in Minnesota we just call them “Trailer Trash”. If they are happy with themselves, let it be. Be happy with yourself, and leave them alone. The rest of the country doesn’t think any different of the Eastern Shore because of this one little show. Laugh and have some fun in your life.
Dorsey says:
My family enjoys all of these shows, TOM ARNOLD needs to be taken off of the AIR !!!! The public needs a break from his sudden pop-ups, folks would rather watch this show instead of you know who……
beano says:
agree with DORSEY!
jerseymlb says:
I LOVE HOTPOCKETS!!!
This was by far the best episode. Pure genius! The claw machine wedding gift, peeing the name of your bride on the street, or shot gunning 3 Buds to build the perfect wedding arch…not to mention the wedding bouquets. Every moment red neck gold!
As for Tom Arnold, he is the perfecr host. I can’t think of anyone better to host…except of course Granny. That woman needs a show!
SouthernThang says:
Oh jeez people, get a grip! “I hope people who viewed this will not think everyone from the Eastern Shore is like this.” Why do you care what people think? Are you not happy with who you are? There are “people like this” everywhere. Leave ‘em alone! Live your life, let them live theirs. They are happy and obviously dont care what you or anyone else thinks about them or they wouldnt have gone on TV. Good Luck and Best Wishes!
Janice says:
I thought the episode with Gail and John was by far the funniest one yet. True they are different from most of us, but they truly seem to love one another. I have to admit that John always having to go the bathroom was disgraceful, but at least he was being true to himself. Her missing teeth was just about the funniest thing I had ever seen. Granny was the best. I just wanted to know where Gail finally got a wedding dress from and if John showered the day of the wedding or if at all? Also, do they live in the trailer with his Mom and Granny? Never quite sure where they lived. I never knew people that age would deliver papers for a living, but at least they are working. Tom Arnold is hilarious. He is the only person who could to this show. I enjoy watching the shows. If these people want to put their lives out there, then hey, who am I to judge them? I think we all know that not every one on the eastern shore is like these two, but if everyone in the world were all the same, then it would be pretty boring. It takes all kinds. I will keep watching the show, but I seriously doubt if they can top John and Gail weddings. Just proves that there is someone for everyone out there. The mechanical bull scene was too much for me. Oh Yeah, where did they do at the zoo?
Angie says:
I LOVE the show!!!
I agree with Southernthang…why are the people from the “Eastern shore” so irritated by this episode? “Rednecks” are in every area of the world and frankly, I think they are the most honest and sincere people out there. They are who they are, take them or leave them. It really upsets me to know people are so stuck up on the “Eastern shore”. Stop being so critical of others and take a look at how you can be a little more accepting…
THUNDER says:
TOM ARNOLD FUCKIN SUCKS, HES NOT FUNNY AT ALLLLL, AND EVERY POP UP COMMENTS BY HIM ANNOYS THE SHIT OUTTA ME.
Ang says:
I agree with Thunder 100%. Tom Arnold is the ruination of the show. It’s funnier than hell!
Audrey says:
I would love to know who thought this would be a great show????? I have watched these shows and i was thinking why why why These couples are different but whos to say this is a bad thing??? Whats next are you guys at cmt going to put some mentally challengened people on the air??? Why not try to find the good qualities and bring it out??? Please dont misundestand that their love is real but for $2500 that they get to go on television so the world can make fun of what a stero type???? Wake up people is $2500 worth being made fun of???? Or $2500 for your diginty????? People like the country folk that is shown on the program are all over But they have the diginty a pride in themselves that a lot of us need . So to the happy couple i wish you love and long life to the people who make fun of them STOP HATIN”’
Amy says:
I have never laughed so hard in my life!! I could watch that episode over and over. Have a great life together you guys and good luck!!!!
Brenda says:
I WATCHED GAIL AND JOHN LAST NIGHT AND I HAVE TO SAY I WAS TOTALLY GROSSED OUT. TO THINK SOMEONE WOULD GO ON NATIONAL TV AND ACT LIKE THAT IS JUST BEYOND ME. TO TAKE A CRAP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IS JUST SICK. BUT.. BY THE LOOKS OF JOHN HES JUST A DRUNK. LOVE GRANDMA… SHES A HOOT… LOVIN HER HOT POCKETS. THE ENTIRE TEETH THING WAS JUST NASTY… HOW DO YOU LOOSE YOUR TEETH THEN BORROW YOUR MOTHERS. NAST NASTY NASTY I THINK ITS WONDERFUL THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER BUT WOW… TO THINK PEOPLE LIVE LIKE THAT AND ACT LIKE THAT IS SCARY AND NASTY.
LORI says:
THANK YOU FOR THE BEST LAUGH I HAVE HAD I A LONG,LONG TIME. IT WAS WONDERFUL, I CAN’T STOP TELLING MY FRIENDS ABOUT IT AND CAN’T WAIT TILL THE NEXT TIME I CAN SEE IT. MY LOVE TO GRAMMY SHE DESERVES ALL THE HOT POCKETS YOU CAN GIVE HER!!KEEP TRUE TO YOURSELVES AND PLEASE RENEW YOUR VOWS NEXT YEAR FOR US TO SEE!
Brian says:
I sure hope John eventually found the clitoris he was looking for.

Lee Ann says:
If you are bothered by Tom Arnold, then why do you keep watching? Personally, he is not my favorite either, so it’s simple. Don’t like him, don’t watch.
The whole show grossed me out. It was lke watching a hillbilly version of Fear Factor. Why anyone would want to live like that is disgusting. Obviously John has bathroom issues and I agree he appears to be a damn drunk. I did’t have the remote, my husband did, so I left the room. The only reason I am on here is my husband wanted to know where these freaks were from.
I did like the grandma, she was funny. I am sure she is just so proud of her offspring. Different strokes for different folks. If they are happy with each other, great. They are not the kind of people I would associate with anyway. Everyone else was spouting off, so I figured….what the hell?!
catherine says:
If you don’t like the show don’t watch it. I personally love the show! And I even like Tom Arnold. As far as John and Gail and their redneck wedding… it was their wedding. They did what they liked and had fun at it. Maybe everyone should try being themselves instead of doing what someone else says they should. Good luck John and Gail!!
Big Tiffany says:
I LAOVE THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!! Ilove tom arnold
keep up the job
Stormy says:
Loved the show……..good luck you guys look real happy
maggiethecat says:
I also loved the show and I think Tom Arnold does a good job of hosting the show. Good luck to you both and lots of happiness. I’m glad Gail found a wedding gown in time for the wedding. It was a beautiful dress and Gail looked lovely in it.
pinkcountrygirl04 says:
Gail and John:
I havent seen your show yet but from reading the comments and everything it is one that I look forward to seeing. I myself am a Redneck and proud of it so all who are hatin need to step off and go f*** yourselfs
redneckwannbe says:
John and Gail’s wedding was the funniest I’ve EVER seen, and being a wedding planner, I’ve seen plenty! My personal favorite part was the vow writing. I’m sure John’s found his “clitoris” by now, if not, it couldn’t have been much of a honeymoon! Tom Arnold adds just the right touch to the show and the comment about the “thesaurus” wouldn’t have gone over nearly as well without him. Some people wouldn’t have “gotten it”. I’m glad Gail found a dress (and teeth) she felt beautiful in. Good luck to you both. Love & Hot Pockets to Granny, too!
Lynn says:
Gail and John, you guys are awsome, what a fun time I had watching your wedding. Gail way to go on doing just what you wanted to do. Even down to your flowers and decorations at the Flea Market. By the way, your second dress (the dress that you wore) was Beautiful, even prettier than the first one. God bless you both, your a fun couple!
Lynn says:
Tom Arnold rocks, he is a funny guy!!!! Keep Tom
Patricia Paul says:
Where was the Farm Supply Store where you saw the Camo Onsie for a baby.I want to get one foe my Granddaughter.
JennyWu says:
They looked very happy and I think it is sweet that they are so in love after all of these years (19) together.
As far as their lifestyle, somebody has to deliver the newspapers, work at the convenience store, sweep the classrooms and clean the toilets. All work has dignity; it is the not working that is shameful.
I think Tom is funny.
Justin says:
This show proves that there are too many poor, fat, uneducated people in the United States. It is truly sad how some people live and conduct themselves in public. Their lack of respect for our country and fellow citizens is appalling. Many people who enjoy this show should become depressed by the conclusion, we are laughing at couples pure “redneckness”. We are laughing at them, because they are all such low lives. I wish everyone had an education and TEETH. America is going down the tubes and this show proves it to the utmost extent. No wonder so many people hate us, look at how we act when we are the wealthiest most free country in the world, we piss in the roads, drink beer out of a paper bag, dump on the side of the road, and cannot pronounce, “thesaurus”.
LeaAnn says:
Loved the show. This is my fav episode so far. Granny seems like a sweetie & u 2 Crack me up. You seem so in love & made for each other. I thought the beer can idea with hay was really cute too! haha! Anyways, its great to see couples u can relate to, REAL PPL! Best Wishes!
Kimmie says:
Well, first I want to say CONGRADULATIONS JOHN! BUT I’m not happy you didn’t invite US! I can’t believe you really got married. I’m / We are happy for you! and to your wife, You have your hands FULL with him… GOOD LUCK.
Now to everyone else, you don’t know John. He would do anything for anyone and never ask any questions. He is one of the most kind hearted guys you will ever meet. So those of you who want to judge a person from an hour TV show that is there for entertainment then go for it.
YOU GO JOHN! Hope you are very happy, you deserve it and I miss seeing ya.
Oh, and we’re still not happy we wern’t invited…
Love Much, Laugh often.
Kim & P
lil mama says:
OMG, Y would she offer her teeth? they get molded to your own mouth structure!?! But it was awesome that Gail was comfortable enuf to not use her own teeth!
Monica says:
I was trying to find out the Pastors name for this wedding. Does anyone know her name???
The Truth says:
Tom Arnold is saying what the rest of the country is thinking. The people who don’t like him are the one’s that don’t get the humor ~ they were probably drunk at the Weddin’ anyhow.
Y’all toothless country bumpkins are a great source of entertainment ~ sorta like watchin’ a train wreck.
Scott says:
I watched this show for the first time the other night. All I have to say is I LOVED IT. Loved Gail, loved John, LOVED GRANNY!!! What makes the show so great is how everyone is so real. That is what makes life great. If we all lived life like Gail and John and not worried about what other people thought of us, we would all be a lot happier!
lisa says:
i liked grandma. john needs to be toilet trained.I love the eastern shore, we love the quiet farm spreads.lots of grass.polite people. can you really earn enough money delivering papers?
barry says:
hey justin,you need to dust off,cause round here your ass would get knocked flat,learn some more
NYyankee65 says:
You know what guys, I’d be more than proud to have both John & Gail as my friends. They’d probably give you the shirt off their backs to help someone. John is an absolute riot!!! I couldn’t stop laughing at this episode!!! From Gail’s missing teeth to John finding his clitoris to Grandma’s hot pockets..I was in stitches!!! And they love each other, even Ray Charles could’ve seen that!! haha So, lay off these people…let them live the way they want to!! Who cares if they deliver papers? If you had a problem with that show, maybe you shouldn’t have tuned in to begin with, huh?
Chelsey says:
I loved the wedding And Granny she was great and the way John was with her was sweet I think John and Gail make a great couple
By the way all those people on the eastern sea board that are so afraid that they were portrayed poorly screw off these are real people I see and speak with people like John and Gail every day they are called humans they are just real if i have a dime for every time my old man peed off the side of our porch I would be rich thats what they do when they dont care what other people think. Congradulations from Centeral Texas And We all wish you a blessed happy long life together
laura says:
This was my favorite episode of the show ever! My friend and I loved it! Congratulations! I just wish my hubby would have given me a gift from the claw machine when we were married!
Billy Bob says:
Screw you guy. You are who you are and you eastern shore people who say this is a disgrace. get over it. this is EXACTLY what it is like there. I know cause I live there. Don’t hide it you know ya’ll can’t fight the redneck gene. My uncle dad always told me people are jealous that why the make fun of us. you wish you could live the simple life. Leave people alone but keep the show and keep Tom. Gail and John, All the best. You guys need your own show!
Jill says:
I thought some of the antics were kinda gross and does not fit in with our common rules of society, but they are true rednecks so we will forgive them!! I think it’s great that Gail and John are truly, madly, deeply in love with each other! And to all of you who made fun of them your jealous!!! I love Tom Arnold!! My hubby did say it sounds like he has a cold though when he does his commentary. BYE!!
Anna says:
Granny rocks!!! I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but some people on here have took it just a little too far. Like concerning rednecks and their weight, what difference does it make how big someone is, maybe you should judge someone more by the size of their heart and not their body! These two people seemed to be in love and that’s all that matters, it was their wedding and they had it the way they wanted it. God bless you guys!
Karianne says:
Ooooh Justin, where did you go to school? Harvard? Shut up. These two are keeping it real, they are in love and happy. You probably have a boring, uptight wife to go along with your boring, uptight life. You sure as hell dont sound too happy. I know people like this, and they are fun. I also know people like you…no fun. You think you are so smart…whatever, dude. I would rather be redneck and happy than an uptight, judgemental jerk with his head up his ass!! CONGRATS GAIL AND JOHN!!!!
SouthCentral Arizona says:
I loved this episode! I wish Gail and John were my neighbors. The final wedding vows always make me cry (I’ve seen it a couple of time).
PAFARMGIRL says:
John & Gail,
After watching your wedding, for the second time, I just had to drop a note and let you know what a great couple you are. Some people may thing you’re backwards, but I just feel you’re just normal, funny people who enjoy your lives with each other. Your wedding was by far the funniest so far. And John, I think it’s great that you think Gail is as “hot as a hotpocket”. Classic and I hope you don’t mind me borrowing this line in my upcoming wedding. Best of luck to you both and please send my regards to Granny!
Theresa says:
My friends and I watch this episode at least once a week as I have recorded it. This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Yes, it may be gross and disgusting, but with all the stress and bad things happening, its just fun to laugh sometimes, those of you disgusted, don’t watch! Thanks CMT for giving my friends and I a really good laugh-Tom Arnold is a riot!
BillyJoeBob says:
it’s a beautiful thing when you find someone hotter than a hot pocket
IowaGirl says:
I love Granny - she is absolutely hilarious! I have watched this episode about 3 times so far and laugh every time about the Hot Pockets - classic! I happen to love Tom Arnold’s commentary - he is from my home state. Everyone who wants to put this show down and whine about the people on the show and how they are “representing” their hometowns/states - DON’T WATCH IT if all you are going to do is complain about it. It’s a great show - meant to make you laugh and let you take a look at other people’s lives. Congrats John and Gail - looks like you guys know how to have fun!
BillyJoeBob says:
I reckon some people just don’t understand our lifestyle.
chris says:
gail and john,
out of all the redneck wedding episodes you guys,
are my favorite.
real down to earth people which i will take any,
day over the stuffed shirts of this world!
some people found some things you did on the show,
offensive i felt like it added to the show!
anyway god bless and good luck if people do not like the
show turn the #%$#$%$# channel.
Marie says:
By far my favorite episode! They love each other and they have fun together. Isn’t that what we all want out of life!? And I LOVE Tom Arnold…keep him on the show! And by the way…you “Eastern Shore” people need to lighten up. You should be honored to have people like that in your community!
Kris says:
I loved Granny! She was so cute and sweet!!!
More Granny! This was the best episode by far…
Anna says:
I this episode again this evening and I gotta say it again, Granny rocks!!! She’s so cute, i’d just love to pinch her little cheeks!
